Re: General Crowd-funding Thread, Mark I

Spellbook Gaming Boxes. I'm not the creator, but a fan who has pledged for this project, and one they team did last year. These boxes are made for D&D and tabletop RPGs. I think they are fairly awesome looking and am buying a couple myself.

And I do agree that the right answer to the magic/mundane problem is to make everyone badass.

Zombie Orpheus Entertainment (The Gamers: Dorkness Rising & Hands of Fate, JourneyQuest, Dark Dungeons) has a new Kickstarter going on for Attacking the Darkness -- a mockumentary filmed alongside the production of Dark Dungeons (though without using any of the latter's intellectual property).

From the campaign, the film is "a comedy mockumentary about the people who want to ban tabletop gaming and their epic quest: to produce the ultimate anti-RPG movie."

Saw a previous post to JQ3 here, and thought this would be something folks might enjoy: Attacking the Darkness

It's chugging along at over 50% complete, but there's always room for more backers!

Aiming to fund the physical release of my new album, and I'm 40% done. Whole thing can be listened to in full on the KS page. It's Metal, so if that's up your alley but you somehow don't read the metal thread on this forum: Go check it out, and if you like what you hear, back it.

Re: General Crowd-funding Thread, Mark I

with JourneyQuest season 3 in post-production, Dead Gentlemen Productions and Zombie Orpheus Entertainment have started yet another kickstarter. this time, it's for the pilot of a series continuing the beloved Gamers saga:

Re: General Crowd-funding Thread, Mark I

I'm a fan of Seanan McGuire (science fiction/fantasy author, she wrote the "Feed" series under the name Mira Grant, and also "Every Heart a Doorway"), and so when I saw she has a new story in an anthology that's being kickstarted, I backed it. The anthology also hits a lot of the things I like--it's a bunch of stories set in magical schools, which is a setting I love, and it's geared towards showcasing LGBT relationships. So I'm really hopeful that it funds and gets published.

Hey all, I'm a huge anime and manga fan so I try to support as many Kickstarters for anime and manga as possible. Well, there's a big one right now! Aria the Animation!Aria is a slice-of-life sort of series set on the watery world of Aqua where Akari Mizunashi spends gentle days training to become an undine, a female gondolier who navigates the canals of the city of Neo-Venezia. As she guides residents, tourists, and friends, Akari grows and faces challenges. This is a sweet story of friendship and a young girl pursing her dream.

We're trying to reach a goal that will mean every episode, every poetic moment, and so much content never before released outside Japan will be brought to America! The project's been going for a bit but we really need every pledge to get to the last few goals!

Will you join Akari on her journey to become one of Aria Company's best gondoliers? Will you visit the charming world of Aqua to see a possible vision of the future? Will you help make over a thousand anime fans' hopes come true and pledge even just a dollar to get us closer to the goal of seeing the entire Aria franchise released on Blu-Ray with English dubbing?

Just remember: no sappy lines allowed!

Thank you all so much for reading! If even just one of you comes to join us in this Kickstarter, if even one person finds joy in this anime, then that will be enough.

Tarol Hunt has launched a kickstarter for Goblins Animated, the cartoon version of his great webcomic Goblins, and he already has part of the Futurama cast and some other big names on board as voice actors:
